4.3 Probe status indication
If you use the optional external probe the light at the back of the probe indicates the probe
status with the following colors:
Red – Right ear is selected. Probe is out of ear.
Blue – Left ear is selected. Probe is out of ear.
Green – Probe is in the ear and is sealing.
Yellow – Probe is in the ear and blocked or leaking.
White – The probe has just been attached. Probe status is unknown. The probe status stays
white in hand held use if the easyTymp® is not monitoring the probe status. If the probe light
stays white in any other situation easyTymp® might need to be switched off and on again to
regain proper probe status.
Flashing color to off – easyTymp® is pausing during a protocol and is waiting for you to press
continue. The color in which the probe light is flashing indicates the probe status like above.
Flashing green to red/blue – easyTymp® just finished the protocol.
4.4 Operating easyTymp®
After switching on the instrument, it will usually start in the Test screen and is ready to test
the same protocol as was used last. After disconnecting easyTymp® from a PC it will start in
the Select Protocol screen and you have to select which protocol should be used.
The battery status bar will show if the battery power runs down. If the battery is empty, you
will be warned and the measurement will be stopped and all recorded data will be stored. You
will have to shut down and change the battery. The measurement data will be recovered after
you start up again. In that way you can continue measurement without retesting.
The following paragraphs describe the precise operation of the different screens you will
observe during the use of easyTymp®.
